About General Mills

We make food the world loves: 100 brands. In 100 countries. Across six continents. With iconic

brands like Cheerios, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Nature Valley, and Häagen-Dazs, we’ve been serving

up food the world loves for 155 years (and counting). Each of our brands has a unique story to tell.

How we make our food is as important as the food we make. Our values are baked into our legacy

and continue to accelerate us into the future as an innovative force for good. General Mills was

founded in 1866 when Cadwallader Washburn boldly bought the largest flour mill west of the

Mississippi. That pioneering spirit lives on today through our leadership team who upholds a vision

of relentless innovation while being a force for good. The awards and recognition we’ve received

showcase our commitment to be a force for good:

Hungry for What’s Next

We exist to make food the world loves, and it shows. Our passion for people, doing good and creating

delicious food has energized us for over 150 years. Breaking away from the pack is how we win, so

we need your unique perspectives: your quirks, ‘crazy’ ideas, rigor and insatiable curiosity to make it

happen. We want people who constantly experiment, embracing the new and bold, who keep

pushing to turn ideas into reality, no matter how big or small. We’ve learned becoming the

undisputed leader in food means continuously reshaping, reimagining and rebuilding— that only

happens when you surround yourself with those who are hungry for what’s next.
